The very steady EPS continues to have nothing in its latest run (12Z) out 15 days. Dandy Don is warming up.

Why are we expecting another system to develop? It’s early June folks and every other season we get a storm which has already happened.

The GFS was expecting it with persistence for a number of days. I don't think a whole lot of folks necessarily expected it though it had to be considered as a small chance by most including myself due to the model persistence. Don't confuse discussion with actually expecting something. Even a very small chance is often discussed. Is the chance completely eliminated already? I know the GEFS is getting close to abandoning it/looks like a GFS suite phantom.

Looks like the gfs caved; development in the epac likely for the next 2 weeks; the Atlantic’s next chance at development may be in late June. We will see.

Much prefer this scenario as I will be in the Keys from the 9th to the 15th. Hoping for no systems during this time - I'll take the heat and humidity, but no storms, please!

The 6Z GFS has nothing on 6/10 and support from the 6Z GEFS is limited. The 6/10 genesis is very likely a GFS suite phantom though that is still 5 days out.

Yeah I've said this many times following Harvey, I'll take the Heat Ridge over Harvey any day. Just means a higher water bill and a higher electricity bill. I'll take that in trade.

It does seem more likely that the storm the GFS has been developing next week was a phantom, or an East Pac system. With any luck, we're done with development until the second week of August. Wouldn't mind a quiet next couple of months.

The 12Z GFS has nothing around 6/10. Being that we're now within 5 days, I think this 6/10 W Caribbean genesis that a number of days in a row of GFS runs were persistent with until just a couple of days ago can just about be Dr. McCoy'ed. Even the recent GEFS runs have shown only limited support.

Yes, it does appear to be a phantom. Still, this does not shake my belief in the model. Overall, the GFS has performed reasonably well over the past several months.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

Re: 2018 Tropics: Global Model Runs Discussion (Out to day 16)
12z CMC now has development in the western carrib moving into the Gulf.. not all too strong since it spends a lot of time over land. ICON 12z also again hinting it .. it just keeps everything over land.
SO the GFS has been picking up on something.. not just a phantom.

CMC keeps the system weak, not due to land, but due to 40 kts of 200mb winds out of the south

So far the most exciting thing I see in the 12Z models is a nice swirl going into the Florida panhandle in 108 or so hours on the Euro

Change log: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display ... cycle+45r1
Selected quote from change log:
The implementation of the ocean-atmosphere coupling in the HRES removes the overall negative bias in tropical cyclone central pressure and thereby reduces the mean absolute intensity error by about 10% in the short range, and about 20% from day 5 onwards. Evaluations so far show statistically neutral results for the position error.

Re: 2018 Tropics: Global Model Runs Discussion (Out to day 16)
Pretty sure I have not seent eh GFS this persistant.
actually this 18z is very similar to the 12z CMC where its origin is very clear in the SW Carrib before moving NNW>

Crap, don't like the 12 ECM run. Looks like a TS landfall near PCB this weekend and it shows winds east of the center gusting between 50-60mph. Scratching my head!

I don’t see a TS, just a very weak low that forms off the tail end of the front.
